By Cerlm M. L. Kurd. Foat-IMatxtch and Mew
York World itatf reporter, who arrived on the
Carpethia.
New York Facts whicn I have es
tablished by inquiries on the Carpa
thla as positively as they could be es
tablished in view of the silence of the
surviving officers are:
That the Titanic I officers knew,
several hours before the crash, of the
possible nearness of the icebergs.
That the Titanlc's speed, nearly Z3
knots an hour, was not slackened.
That the number of lifeboats on the
Titanic was insufficient to accommo
date more than one-tbird of the pas
sengers, to aay nothing of the crew.
Most members of the crew say that
there were 16 lifeboats and two col
lapsibles; none say there were more
than 20 boats in all. The 700 who es
caped filled most of the 16 lifeboats.
Had the ship struck the iceberg
head-on with whatever resulting shock,
the bulkhead system of watertight
compartments probably would have
saved the vessel. As one man ex
pressed it, it was the impossible that
happened when, with a shock unbe
lievably mild, the ship's aide was torn
for a length which made the bulkhead
system ineffective.
At 11:45 came the sudden Bound of
two guns, a warning of immediate
danger.
The crash against the iceberg which
had been sighted at only a quarter of
a mile, came almost simultaneously
with the click of the levers operated
by those on the bridge, which stopped
the engines and closed the watertight
doors.
Captain Smith was on the bridge a
moment later, giving orders for the
summoning on deck of all aboard and
for the putting on of lifepreservers
and the lowering of the lifeboats.
The first boats lowered contained
more men passengers than the later
ones, as the men were on deck first
and not enouzh women were there to
fill them.
When a moment later the rush of
frightened women and crying children
to the deck began, enforcemet of the
women first rule became rigid. Offi
cers loading? some of the boats drew
revolvers, but in most cases the m-en
both passengers and crew, behaved in
a way that called for no such restraint
Members of the crew discredit all
reports of suicide and say Captain
Smith remained on the bridge until
just before the ship sank, leaping only
after those on the deck had been
washed awav. It Is also related that
when a cook later sought to pull him
aboard a lifeboat, he exclaimed, "Let
me go, ana jermng away, went
down.
The following named men of world
wide note are known to hare gone
down on the Titanic: Colonel John
Jacob Astor, financier; Benjamin
Guggenheim, mining magnate; C. M.
Hays, railway magnate; W. T. Stead,

China Names Yale Man.
New York Chung Mun Yu, the old

Men Stand in Icy Water,
New York "W- J. Hawksford, of
London, a first-class passenger, said
one of the collapsible rafts was placed
in the water with 80 men on it, but
instead of rising to the sourface, as it
should have done, it began slowly to
sink, until the men on it were im
mersed in the ice-cold water up to
their waists.
